ROH World Champion Claudio Castagnoli vs. NJPW Strong Openweight Champion Eddie Kingston in a Title vs. Title Match will take place on tonight’s episode of AEW Dynamite: Grand Slam.
To promote the show, Sports Illustrated has an article up about Kingston with quotes from AEW President Tony Khan.
“Eddie Kingston has an aura of authenticity,” said Khan. “Nobody questions his loving obsession with pro wrestling, nor his molten temper. As wrestling fans, it’s special for us to see a star who wears his love of wrestling on his sleeve, and something that makes Eddie so special in my opinion is that he always matches his unwavering authenticity with unmatched intensity.
“We can feel his real passion and his real anger when he speaks, and anytime he steps into the ring. Eddie’s method is that he’s not acting. He really cares about AEW, NJPW, ROH, and the wrestling fans. It comes from a great place in his heart, and sometimes when provoked it can take him to a very dark place, as well.”
